It's hard to put Royce in anywhere as the dude often fought in an open weight class so was unable to make an impact on a division. Same with a few of the old school fighters, Frye, Shamrock, Ruas etc unless they went past their prime.

Would Royce be considered a MW for his career? That's where he fought Hughes right? I'd put him up there....not many people at that weight class would beat him back in the day. Overall Silva/Hendo/Wandy have passed him but I'd say he warrants top 5 MW consideration if thats the weight he would've fought at...

It's tough to do the all-time lists. Easier to maybe break it up into era's. 1993-1999, 2000-2006, 2007-present

I would take out Mir, and replace him with Barnett. Not sure how you would do it, but I think you have to add Igor Vovchanchyn in there somewhere as well, and Randy needs to be there. IDK, HW is pretty hard to cut to just 5 guys. I'd say....
